Badge Day - 2015
My annual column - http://www.parispi.net/opinion/colum...b0c1e985b.html
"While it is true that this has resulted in Greek women being well represented in the halls of power on the local, state and national levels (e.g., Condoleeza Rice, Alpha Chi Omega; Elizabeth Dole, Delta Delta Delta; Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Pi Beta Phi; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Alpha Epsilon Phi; and many others), it is ultimately just as important that women have these skills for every aspect of their lives, from running a household to running a PTA committee meeting."

Excellent as usual, Belle! I plan to go to a Panhellenic Fundraiser, followed by an Alpha Delta Pi Alumnae Association meeting!

I love Badge Day! I primarily work from home, but Badge Day is always on the one day I teach all day (college adjunct).

I'm excited to wear my badge this year! After Christmas, I ordered the dangles I qualified for over the years but never got, and I'm hoping they come in time to wear that day!

I'm self-employed right now, but I'm tempted to wear a letter sweatshirt to my next Fairfield County Chorale rehearsal (we rehearse on Mondays). I may be laughed at, as I'm pushing 30 (I've pushed it nearly all the way to 40 lol), but my age doesn't make me any less an AEPhi. And who knows what business connections I may make simply because I'm Greek?

I'm in the final year of my 20s and I still wear letter frequently. You're an AEPhi for life - wear your letters with pride!

I'm in the Connecticut Choral Society (our rehearsals are also on Monday). I'll either wear my letters (I'm pushing 50 and I still wear them) or my badge.
One of the first time I wore my letters, our director asked if I was a Gamma Phi (I resisted the snarky reply as to why else I would be wearing letters). He told me that while an undergrad (either Drexel or Duquesne, I can't remember), he was a "Moon Man." Very cool!

I'm planning to share your article on my FB page today. Very well written.
I work from home, as well, and am NOT in badge attire but I will find a way to honor my fraternity tomorrow. I love my badge and all that stands for.
